Bharti said that National Informatics Centre (NIC), Punjab, had developed the DSMS software within a span of seven months.

'Rupnagar is the first district in the country to have such a system. It has been taken as pilot site for implementation of DSMS and, based on the response, this scheme would be launched in other districts. The entire DSMS data would be put on the official website of Rupnagar within the next three months,' he said.

Rupnagar is around 35 km from state capital Chandigarh.
